| Reverse description | Hadrian standing right, extending his right hand to raise a kneeling personification of Hispania who proffers an olive branch; between the two figures, a rabbit reclines on the ground, the canonical symbol of the Iberian peninsula in Roman iconography. The composition alludes to Hadrian's provincial tour and his perceived benefactions to Hispania, his ancestral homeland. The legend RESTITVTORI HISPANIAE occupies the field around the figures, while the senatorial authorisation mark S C appears in the lower field on either side. |
